Beschrijving
Queen's Park is a public park in Crewe. There are several paths throughout the park, all well paved and suitable for wheelchair use. There are also lots of benches. The paths allow very close access to an artificial 4.5 acre lake (1) where you can see a large variety of waterfowl: Meerkoet (sometimes with a colour ring), Waterhoen, Wilde Eend, Knobbelzwaan, Blauwe Reiger, Aalscholver, Zilvermeeuw, Kleine Mantelmeeuw. During winter months large flocks of Kokmeeuw are gathering here. Grote Zaagbek, Mandarijneend, Stormmeeuw and others can often be seen.
The lawn is often busy with Grote Canadese Gans. In summer they often form big kindergarden groups of many goslings. Brandgans can sometimes be seen with the other geese.
A shallow valley, known as the ‘Coronation Valley’ (2), runs north/south through the north-west quarter of the Park, with its small man-made stream where Merel, Putter and other birds are often seen bathing. There are also several bird-feeders along the route that attract Koolmees, Pimpelmees, Boomklever, Zwarte Mees, Roodborst, Heggenmus, Ekster and others.
The paths g othrough a landscape planted with a variety of trees and shrubs where one can find Gaai, Groenling, Holenduif, Taigaboomkruiper and even a Steenuil. In winter the park is visited by Kramsvogel, Koperwiek and in some years by Appelvink.
